    I was born in C, not recommended.

    (People's Republic of China)

    Restrictive firewall, no porn, hard to get western media, so you'd be stuck with ww2 sino-japanese war tv drama or some cringe romance stuff.

    With a population of 1.4 Billion (well, minus the area covered by "E"), you'd most likely end up there.

    Did I even mention video games? Yea... that's gonna be tough to get, definitely no online multiplayers (even if you somehow got a VPN, the ping is gonna kill you).

    And your VPN could fail at any time even if you do get it.

    Also, OP didn't specify you get to choose your gender, so if you're born as a woman in Japan... good luck. (Don't ask why camera shutter sounds are mandatory on Japanese Phones)

      I guess K is the least risky option

      Remeber kids, bad humans are far more dangerous than scawwwy Australian animals

      I mean its legal to shoot a bear, but you're gonna have a bad time if you shoot a human, even if its self-defence.

        You can choose which part you want, however where exactly is random based on the birth rate (if a region has a higher birth rate it is more likely that you are born there). What part would you choose and why?

        B or K are the best bets. But Mexico or central America could get ugly real quick.

                K is honestly the only truly safe option.

                Yes, just watch out for the snakes and spiders. Luckily the saltwater crocs are only in northern Australia!

                  K seems like the "safest" option.

                  Pros: Australia is a safe bet

                  Cons: Highest probability of experiencing Loss

                    The old division was nato/capitalist block was first world, soviet/communist block was second world and everything else was third world.

                    The soviet union may be gone, but a lot of the countries that used to be a part of it are still at the same relative standard of living between the developed west and the underdeveloped global south, so could be considered "second world". The biggest example is, of course, russia; yeah, not the best standard of living but a lot better than what a lot of the world is getting.

                    I know that's now generally accepted, but when I was young it was Old World (Yurp, Russia etc) and New World (US, Canada, Australia etc). But the poorer former colonies, the developing nations, didn't fit either, so they were called the Third World.

                      I've seen a lot of the world. Like, a lot. The US is definitely on my "I don't want to be born there" list. And im happy I wasn't. But I would understand most Americans think differently, seeing how self centered they are. But it's a failed state. Insane poverty, wealth inequality, corruption, incarceration numbers, broken judiciary system, crime rates, etc. It's run by a criminal pedophile and everyone knew that when they voted for him. After he ruined a previous term already. Like, Idiocracy at its best. People who actually believe the US is a good country are either ignorant, super rich or blind AF. But yes, there are countries that are worse.

                                  You should travel more if you think the US is some universal paradise. It has good areas and bad areas like any country

                                  I've been to communities in West Virginia that have no running water. Or large swaths of Mississippi that have little to jo infrastructure, and even fewer economic opportunities

                                  The US is a big place with incredible disparity

                                        Ok but here's the thing.....in the US you are free to buy a Greyhound bus ticket and go to any major metropolis if you choose and seek gainful employment

                                        If you stay away from drugs, don't have kids out of wedlock, and don't make stupid choices ....you WILL not fail in America. Even if you do fail you can live quite comfortably with a mediocre job.

                                        Meanwhile.....in Honduras......
